Clariant Corporation, Oak Creek, WI; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    By application of June 12, 2003, a company official requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding the Department's Negative 
Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment 
Assistance, applicable to the workers of the subject firm.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
issued on April 30, 2003, based on the finding that criterion 3(A) (the 
workers' firm is a supplier and the component parts it supplied for the 
primary firm accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or 
sales of the workers' firm) and 3(B)(a loss of business by the workers' 
firm with the primary firm contributed importantly to the workers' 
separation or threat of separation) have not been met. The denial 
notice was published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2003 (68 FR 
25060).
    Pursuant to the receipt of the request for reconsideration, which 
included subject firm customers not provided in the initial 
investigation, it has become apparent that Clariant Corporation, Oak 
Creek, Wisconsin supplies component parts for leather and a loss of 
business with a manufacturers (whose workers were certified eligible to 
apply for adjustment assistance) contributed importantly to the workers 
separation or threat of separation.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I 
determine that workers of Clariant Corporation, Oak Creek, Wisconsin 
qualify as adversely affected secondary workers under Section 222 of 
the Trade Act of 1974. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I 
make the following certification:

    All workers of Clariant Corporation, Oak Creek, Wisconsin, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
April 1, 2002 through two years from the date of this certification, 
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of 
the Trade Act of 1974.


    Signed in Washington, DC, this 17th day of October, 2003.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
